Dr. Jing TANG

Tenure-Track Assistant Professor University of Copenhagen

My research focuses on understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and associated feedbacks under changing climate.  I have primarily specialised in process-based ecosystem modelling, and have extensive experience in developing and applying different models, and also integrating observation-based data for different modelling purposes and/or answering different research questions.

My research background includes:

University of Copenhagen PhD student (09/2023-)

My research explores how arctic plant photosynthesis activities and BVOC emissions acclimate to different growing temperatures and how acclimation processes influence plant responses to different strengths of heatwaves?

I conduct fieldwork and laboratory experiments to answer these questions, and the derived response curves will be integrated into the dynamic ecosystem model, LPJ-GUESS, to assess the large-scale impacts of these thermal responses.

PhD student (04/2024-)

I am looking at land-lake interactions in the pan-Arctic to understand how these dynamics affect catchment- and regional-scale C dynamics. Currently I am working on introducing a lake module to the LPJ-GUESS model by integrating the biogeochemical lake model, ALBM. I am also working with field data (biogeochemical variables from lakes and surroundings) from different locations to evaluate model results. Lastly I aim to quantify lakes' contribution to the terrestrial C balance in the pan-Arctic, now and in the future.

Hongliang Ma University of Copenhagen

Postdoc (09/2024-)

My interests include remote sensing for terrestrial ecological key parameters (i.e., soil moisture, vegetation water, biomass and temperature), and couplings with ecosystem models

Shouzhi Chen Beijing Normal University

co-supervised PhD student (2022-) 


My main research focus is developing spring and autumn phenology module in LPJ-GUESS and assessing the effects of vegetation dynamics on cross-scale ecohydrological processes under climate change.

Hao Zhou  Lund University

co-supervised PhD student (2020-)

My research focuses on introducing within-grid cell spatial heterogeneity and developing river routing among grid cells in a Dynamic Global Vegetation Model, LPJ-GUESS. I assess the impacts of these processes on regional and global carbon and nitrogen cycles.
